Is the "return path" the true address of the sender? If so, I would like to blacklist such addresses. The "From:" field shown in the message index of Mutt almost always is rewritten -- sometimes to an address from which valid messages may originate -- so I hesitate to blacklist such addresses. At present, I am using "mailfilter" to delete messages from the POP3 server of my ISP before download. This helps greatly; but the spammers keep changing subjects and addresses, so maintenance of the ".mailfilterrc" file is becoming an unreasonable burden. Then I am using "getmail" to download messages and "maildrop" to sort them. How much trouble is it to set up SpamAssassin for a setup such as mine, in which cron is used to pull down messages every ten or fifteen minutes? Must I switch from getmail and maildrop to procmail? Ultimately, the solution is to make spamming a crime for which the punishment is a "suspended sentence". RLH
